@Poindexter, no objections from Ace.  Please don't kill us all.

[Zweiblumen]

Doc will enjoy his time in the clean new van.  IC on its way.

@Zweiblumen I'll get your search results up later. Big report due tomorrow so it's crunch time at work today.

No worries, I know how that goes :/

[rednblack]

Well, I've thoroughly enjoyed the last two IC posts.  Wow.

[Tecumseh]

Big report due this afternoon and then my weekly game tonight, so I'll be on the quiet side today.

@8-bit & @Malevolence This is your opportunity to chime in on Sam's theory.

@Rednblack & @Zweiblumen I presume that Doc is sharing his findings with everyone. Feel free to react or respond to his search results as you see fit.

Katsina will give APB's commlink to Doc. He can hack it if he likes. It is an Erika Elite.

[Zweiblumen]

Yup, getting a post up now

[Zweiblumen]

Hacking APBs comm:

Deck Config:
Toolbox, BabyMonitor, Encryption, Agent
A: 4 S: 7 D: 5 (6) F: 6 (7)

Rolls for hacking:
Hacking APBs phone (Log 9 Hacking 6 = 15): 15d6t5 6 (limit 7)
Very likely I got my mark there...

Dunno how many more I need, so here's all the marks... these are all HotF actions to get marks on things I need:
Hacking APBs phone (Log 9 Hacking 6 = 15): 5#15d6t5 5 4 2 4 6 (limit 7)

And I don't know if you want control device or edit file for seeing things, here's 2 of each for you:
control device INT 4 + EW 6 + Qualia = 11: 2#11d6t5 3 6 (limit 7)
edit file to read APBs phone LOG 9 + Comp 5 = 14: 2#14d6t5 4 7 (limit 6)

BabyMonitor running to let me know how much OS I have (don't need GOD coming back on us AGAIN).

Doc whistles appreciatively as he's pulling up info on Ace's SIN.  From the shadows of the Matrix, he finds out that Ace puts the hurt on folks.
...
<<<@Team [Doc] Welp, our chummer Ace here definitely has a name for himself in the shadows.  Seems he's a fairly effective recovery specialist for Ares.  See attached file.  And our shooter is another version of him, though with a bit more of a cloud of mystery around him.
>>File: rhodes.info
>>File: shooter.info
>>>

Just to be clear, you weren't looking up Ace's SIN, you were looking up any information on a man named Rhodes. Rhodes could be Ace's operational name, or real name, as there are certainly a number of parallels between the two. But you definitely aren't hacking the SIN database; you're just in some shadowrunner forums and chat rooms.

[Zweiblumen]

Editing.

Better?

Doc whistles appreciatively as he's pulling up info on Ace's perona "Rhodes".

[Malevolence]

Rhodes is a contact, not a persona or SIN. It may sound like Ace, but it is likely a colleague or handler that just happens to be cut form the same cloth (or from the same program/experiment/whatever).

[Tecumseh]

Rhodes is a contact on Ace's comm. Currently there's no IC indication of whether he is a separate person or if Ace has entered himself into his own comm, perhaps for crazy situations such as the one you find yourself in. There is, after all, good precedent for leaving a crumb trail to your future amnesiac self:

Ace doesn't recognize the commcode though, and it doesn't match any of the Red Team commcodes either.

[Zweiblumen]

Yeah, I buggered that up but good.

More editing.  Sorry for the snafu.

Matrix Perception on Data Lock (Comp 5 + Int 4 + Quali 1 + Spec 2 = 12): 12d6t5 3
Looking for a databomb on the lock
Rating of the lock
Anything else I'd be able to tell with an MP on it.

UH OH, here we go! I been waiting for this!

[Tecumseh]

Data Locks, by definition, are not wirelessly enabled. The only way you examine it is by stuffing a universal data connector into the back of Ace's head, which is an option but will need approval from all involved.

Data Bombs are on files, not devices. You'll need to crack the Data Lock itself before conducting matrix perception on the files within (if there are any).

APB's comm resisting hack: 0 hits, I'd feel bad for APB but she's dead, so whatever.
Mark #2: 2 hits
Mark #3: 3 hits

Doc has three marks on APB's comm. That said, I think Spoof is the relevant command for reading her diary and flipping through her photo album, so you only need one mark. Should be the same dicepool as your Control Device rolls, so we'll use those.

Resist Spoof #1: 5 hits, resisted
Resist Spoof #2: 3 hits, spoof succeeds

Baby Monitor reports your current OS is 13.

I'll post the results of what you find ICly, although I don't know if that will be in an hour, later tonight, or tomorrow.

[Zweiblumen]

Yeah, knew I'd need the DC, just assumed consent given Ace asking me for it

And I'll reboot after hacking APB's comm.
